also willing to trade for my current one plus $$$. It looks like a greyish color. I may just end up painting it a blue to try to match but figured I see if anyone has one first.

Here is one for $75 plus shipping. The shade of blue is not quite what you pictured, and you would need to change out the buick center for a rocket center.

Oh interesting - thanks! I had no idea Buick had the same style button. If no luck here that might be a better option then painting my current one.

If you want an extra one to try painting I have some of the rings without the center emblem. $20 plus shipping from Oregon for one. If interested I can post some pictures. I believe I have tan, red and blue that's like the one on ebay. Then a blue that may be the correct color but it has black overspray on it from someone painting the center emblem black. John

Lacquer thinner will probably remove the over-spray. I beleive those rubber rings were cast in color, so the thinner should not remove the color, just the overspray. Just a thought.

I'd be interested in seeing a pic of the blue one.

Thanks!

Yes, that worked! Thank you for the suggestion. I'm not sure I have the right shade of blue, but I'll upload some photos for the OP to view.

Well, the one with paint on it looks like it may be the same shade as the other blue one I have. It also looks like someone tried to pry the blue ring off, so it would need to be worked back into the metal ring in a couple spots. Most of the pictures are of the one that had paint on it. Then the last couple are of it and the other blue one sided by side. If either of these might work for you let me know. John

Thanks for posting the pics! I'm afraid that's not the right color blue but it was worth a shot.
